Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

Our version of this ultimate feel-good food is chock-full of seasonal vegetables like leeks, carrots, celery, and onions. Slowly cooking a whole chicken, fragrant herbs, and fresh vegetables in chicken broth rather than water imparts a rich flavor to this soup.

When using spices whole, be sure to remove them from the dish before serving. Grind only as much of the spice as you require, using a mortar and pestle or a small grinder reserved only for that purpose, just prior to adding them to a dish.
